Hi I noticed Amadael are now selling my lathe. There version is fitted with a thread dial gauge. I bought one for my lathe from them I can not see any way to mount it. Any ideas. I guess I should ring them.

The lathe is the AMA210VG I'm guessing I would need to drill and tap to mount it. I don't really want to do that but I can not see any other way to attach it.

Well, My Chester 9×20 is done that way, as is my SPG2129 and the little Sieg C3…..

Below is a picture of my Chester DB7 lathe showing the thread dial indicator which mounts on the right hand side of the saddle/apron with a long cap head screw and spacer.

To engage the dial it is swung in so that the gear engages the lead screw.

Hope this helps

There should be a M6 threaded hole on the right side of the carriage to take a M6 by 25 bolt.

Thanks for the pics my lathe does not seem to have a tapped hole it looks like I will have to drill and tap a suitable hole to attach it to the lathe. I think I'll put the fitting on hold for now.
